Not a normal steel cage with a carbon finish.


Did you believeSOME companies when they said they made carbon fibre alloys too?

To be totally honest I dont think any of us know enough about the properties of carbon and its relative strengths to steel to be able to make this any kind of discussion!

Does the place have an autoclave? If not their screwed already.
They will have to do dry lay instead of wet lay as well, which is a bit harder to do.

carbon fibre alloys? I'll just enlighted you that an alloy is a mixture of metals and carbon fibre is made from carbon and resin (no metals what so ever)

There can be no such thing as carbon fibre alloys


About the CF cage, of course it can be done. Oakley made one for a Porche, but some blokes in a shed! I very much doubt they would have the capital to invest in the design and testing of a true, CF cage.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Surely if CF cages were viable, WRC would have them by now?

FFS why do people insist on making websites for their companies when they clearly haven't got good grammar or spelling skills, they can't even be arsed to change items in what is obviously a template (the 'your logo' image at the top for example), and they use a free website hosting service?

If you want to actually get customers, you have to show them that you're serious about what you're doing - and not running a Mickey Mouse outfit.

If you are having a proper web designer make your website, then why not get that sorted first before showing people this shitty website and embarrasing yourselves?
